Need your lovin arms around me
Need your lovin every day
It's late at night
It's almost a quarter to 3
Lord have mercy upon me.
[[ Chorus:
Everybody needs somebody
I hope you come away with me
I need some time to be by myself
Before I can take you away with me.]]
Let's go down to the coconut grove
Where all the guys and the stray cats go.
Your silky swaying to the baha beat
You're like a vision in this tropical heat.
[[CHORUS]]
(SOLO)
Put your lovin arms around me
Cause I need you more every day.
Little Carla, you were so sexy and sweet
Like a vision in this Miami heat.
Everybody needs somebody
And I hope you come away with me
I need some time to be by myself
I need some time to be by myself.
~You were such a distraction
~Such a fatal attraction...
